The Jhakaas Kapoor, a legend in his own right of the Indian film industry was present alongside other cast members-Freida Pinto, Dev Patel and Irrfan Khan.

The red carpet had all the Hollywood Gliterrati attending as the cast members of the film shared candid moments with their Hollywood counterparts-Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Brad Pitt amongst many others at the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night.

Infact Filmicafe caught Freida exchanging a warm hug with Golden Globe award-winning Kate Winslet and having an intimate conversation with Angelina Jolie.

The highlight of the night had to be Anil Kapoor's moving speech upon accepting the Actor for ensemble cast in the motion picture category. An visibly elated and emotional Kapoor was applauded by the audience as especially thanked the younger members of the cast- the children in his geninue and touching acceptance speech.

Anil also showcased his humbleness and 'Indian'ness in a respectfully touching Mr. Anthony Hopkins feet upon coming onto the stage to accept the award. Now that is the Indian WAY!

That speech was really good! Anil especially thanked the kids! I loved that part! Although he did kinda hog the mike and not let anyone else talk except Freida a bit in the end.....LOL.

😆So true, he did hog up most of the speech time....but this was his chance to speak on stage and I'm so glad he mentioned the kids too and Frieda named them! I think it was nice of Anil to touch Anthony Hopkins feet though Hopkins must be like wat the heck is he doing😆 Anil was so ecstatic that he rushed to go to the stage but then realized he should wait for his co-stars!

Yeah, it was really nice of him to touch Anthony Hopkins's feet....a gesture of his respect for such a great actor...even though yeah, AH prolly must have been going WTF😆

And yeah, Anil was wayyyyyy hyper when the names first got announced! He almost rushed to the stage then only but kept pausing and coming back for his co-stars😆😆

I just LOVE how SM always gets such a huge round of applause whenever their name is announced at these award ceremonies! Even better is to hear Jai Ho being blared in all these Hollywood auditoriums!
